Our network is made up of a number of groups who are working on a particular issue or “patch”.
They are supported by a facilitator and project staff who work on landscape scale projects or initiatives that align with our vision and mission and support our groups.
For more information go to our groups page.
WULN offers two types of membership Groups or Associate Members (detailed below). If you are an individual then you can join a group. For more information go to our groups page.
Groups can be incorporated or unincorporated or may have another legal structure associated with a not for profit organisation.
These are groups who are members of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network but do not have voting rights. Our associate members include Schools (who may or may not have a Junior Landcare program), service clubs and businesses.
Whether you’d like to become a member of an existing group, or start a group of your own, we can help.
Contact us if you’d like to chat.
We welcome enquiries to help community members to operate legally and safely on a variety of land tenures.
We support groups with accessing relevant and affordable insurance including Public Liability, Personal Accident (volunteer) insurance and Associations Liability insurance.
We help your group develop a plan and support you to find resources, grow your volunteer members and start new projects which inspire the community.
We provide policy and procedures to support safe volunteering and we negotiate operational protocols with Wodonga Council when working on their land.
We support small groups with developing grant writing skills and other training opportunities, managing finances, administration, planning and project management and evaluation and reporting.
We support groups by providing access to shared equipment.
We help you promote, manage and record the success of your activities and events through our bulletin, website and social media platforms.
We provide or source technical advice for projects and can help you implement best practice.
We connect our groups through regular gatherings and events, allowing you to network and share information with like minded people.
Our volunteers choose to join a group (not the Network). Some groups accept their memberships directly and WULN manages others.
Each membership registration covers one household – either an individual or several members. Please list each name to be included when completing your membership form.
Membership is $20.00 (inc GST) per household annually (1 July – 30 June)
This form needs to be completed each year if you wish to continue your membership. Payment details are noted on the form. On processing of your registration and payment, your membership will be confirmed by email.
We welcome new groups whose purpose aligns with the vision, mission and Rules of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network.
Your group might be patch based working in and around where you live or you might want to establish a group to deal with a specific environmental issue. New groups are expected to act in good faith in the best interests of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network and with reasonable care and diligence for their own safety and that of others.
If you would like to discuss the development of a new group get in touch with the WULN Facilitator or submit the form below and we will be in touch.

We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners and First Nations people of the lands and waters of Wodonga and surrounds. We acknowledge the continued connection to land, water and community, their ability to care for Country and their deep spiritual connection to it.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.
We are committed to genuine partnerships and engagement with Traditional Owners and First Nations people to support the protection of Country.
We are proud that Wodonga has retained its Aboriginal name and refers to Bulrushes found on the edge of waterways.
